"In April, the family of Marciales created a ghost bike memorial in his honour. Ghost bikes are a reminder to both motorists and other cyclists of the tragic loss of a cyclist due to collisions from drivers. The white bike was chained to street light in the middle of the roadway, right where he was hit.
On Sunday, someone noticed that a motorist had hit the memorial. “There’s been another crash at Balbo and lakeshore drive. Someone hit the light pole. Gerardo’s ghost bike and the pole are in the middle of the street,” Bike Lane Uprising tweeted."
